If you notice scratch-like or bruise-like spots on your genital area, do not try to treat them yourself. Keep the area clean and dry, and consult a doctor or dermatologist quickly to identify the cause and get proper treatment.

I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. Scratch-like or small bruise-like lesions on the genital skin could be due to various causes, including fungal infections, irritation, or other skin conditions.

Here are some steps you can take:

  • Avoid scratching or rubbing the area to prevent further irritation or infection.
  • Keep the area clean and dry, as moisture can worsen fungal infections.
  • Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear to reduce moisture buildup.
  • Since fungal infections are common in this area, an antifungal medication like Fluconazole (an oral antifungal tablet) is often used to treat such infections. However, this should only be taken after consulting a doctor who can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe the correct dosage.
  • Avoid using any over-the-counter creams or medications without medical advice, as incorrect treatment may worsen the condition.
  • If you notice worsening symptoms such as increased pain, spreading of lesions, fever, or discharge, seek medical attention promptly.

Because your symptoms appeared recently and involve sensitive skin, I strongly recommend consulting a dermatologist or a specialist in skin infections as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

If you experience severe pain, swelling, or other urgent symptoms, please contact emergency services immediately at Apollo Emergency - 1066.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
